The untimely death which annually
carries off thousands of human beings in the
prime of youth, is indeed terrible. The
first approach of consumption is insidious,
and the sufferer himself is the most uHcon-
scious of it's approach. One of the most
alarming symptoms of this drnad disease
is, in fact, the incradgable hope, which
turks in the heart of the'vctim, preventing
him from taking timely steps 10 arrest the
malady. That it can be arrested in its
earlier stages is beyond question, as there
are hundreds of wcll-authenticatad cases
where Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry has effected u complete cure.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The Experiment Of Teaching Vocal Music
After o Short Trial 8 Prone unCed Sac.
ssss.
A trip to the public schools OF Fort
Worth will reveal the fact that by per
sistent effort and unremitting labor
wonders can be accomplished. The ques-
ton Of teaching vocal music in the public
schools has been for long time dis
cussed, and few months sgo was tried
as an experiment. The results have far
outstripped the expectations of the most
sanguine friends of this beautiful accom-
plishment. The children, from the young
est up, through each class to the highest,
take as readily to the study IS to any
diversion for recess. They seem to think
1t more Of 8 labor Of love than study
and, as might be expected, their progress
is the more marked. So we'll salts
fed Is the school management with
the experiment so far made that next
session competent musical instructor
will be employed to take charge OF the
department, and the pupils will reap the
advantage Of thorough education n
vocsl music at least. The schools Of
Fort Worth will continue to improve.
We will have, at no distant day, high
school, and 1t is not at ell improbable
that Industrial education will be 8 feature
of the public school education of the city.

leading character in the play. will not suf-
fer in comparison with the best Othellos
on the stage. In one Or two instances ne
appeared to lack force, but this was sp-
parent only for a second. In the scene
where he murders Desdemona he was
really grand, and the universal
quiet that prev lied marked the ap-
probation of the audience. Gould
Mr.. James play nothing out Othello, he
would be entitled to high rank as a TRACE
disn.
Miss Wainwright as Desdemona was
simply perfect. Her grace Of manner, her
personal charms, her nst1ralness, added
to her powers as an actress combined In
presenting 10 her audience . Desdemons
never seen in this city before. One for.
got his surroundings, and as he followed
the words OF the players saw Desdemons
in person before him.
TIE Iago Of F. G. Mosley was fair, he
lacks power when power most is needed.
In the parts where he plays the villain be
is good, in the scenes where he is the viii
lain still but should play Iago
he is not so good. Mr.
Huebner as Cassie could not hav.
been improved upon in many particulars.
He is a fae actor, and frequently won
deserved applause from the audience.
There is brilliant future before this
gentleman as we'll as prosperous pres
ent.
The Emilia CT Miss Kate Meek was
simply superb. The LADY has dramatic
fire in her composition OF the highest Or
der. There were slight defects in all the
acting with the exception Of that of Miss
Wainwright and Miss Meek, and in the
last act the more difficult work to be done
by Miss Meek was accomplished in 8
manner that compelled and earned the
spontaneous applause accorded.

Nellie Arthur's Reserve.

A very remarkable story Is told in
boarding school circles about Miss Nellie
Arthur, the daughter of the late ex Presi-
dent. She was st Mrs. Lockwood's
school snd had been there year, when
one day she was missed by her little
chums, who crowded around the princi-
pal after the opening exercises to ask
where she was game.
"where's Nel?" they said.
"Whv, dent you know?" said the lsdy.
"Her father, General Arthur, died last
night"
"Was her father General Arthur" all
ssked as with one voice-"was she the
Presidents Gsughter?"
Miss Nellie had never limited at what
most girls would have told before aIy-
thing else.
